The summer
months are approaching at a rapid speed, jumpers will no longer be an
essential, the air conditioners will be running and the beach loaded once again.
All well and good, but one very important aspect to keep an eye on as the
weather heats up is adequate hydration.

The human
body is about 60% water, we are constantly loosing water from our body’s, as
the weather heats up, your body will naturally expend more sweat to maintain
your body temperature in normal ranges. It is very important to stay one step
ahead and be well hydrated to cope with these changes optimally.

Health
Authorities commonly recommend to drink 2 Litres of water per day. The best way to do this is to take small sips
of water throughout the day.

Every system
in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital
organs, carries nutrients to your cells, and provides a moist environment for
ear, nose and throat tissues.

All in all,
the benefits of staying properly hydrated are crucial for maintaining a
healthy, balanced lifestyle.
